A Gift From France!


I have received a beautiful gift from the very talented Oiseau. Just look at these gorgeous pastries!!! I am so thrilled to have them in my collection. They are just perfect!

I have seen and read about French macaroons and pastries in so many miniature blog sites. I was feeling my collection was quite deprived and me too for that matter! I am sure the first thing I am going to do if I ever get to France is head straight for the nearest macaroon for my first real bite (a coffee flavored one I think). I am so curious about them.

Do check out her blog to see all of her gorgeous work on her blog and in her ETSY shop!. http://www.etsy.com/shop/oiseaudenim http://oiseaudenim.blogspot.com/

Thank you soooooo very much Oiseau! I adore them.

  1. Dear Catherine,

    Your miniature collections are gorgeous but I hope these biscuits go well with your mini table.
    You are a very nice and generous person.
    A big thank-you to you too!

  6. Debbie,

    We must really be missing out on one of the finer things in life (French Macaroons). I am ready to call Laudree and ask them to mail me some. I don't care if they arrive stale or petrified. I want to know what all the 'woo hoo' is about. LOL

  14. Gosh I am so curious! I have a "French Bakery" across the street from me but they don't have macaroons. They thought I was talking about the coconut cookies! LOL
    As far as rum balls so I haven't had one in years. I do remember loving them!
